Of course you can. I was just giving you my perspective. I don’t try to speak for others just how I read the situation.
About 2 weeks ago we didn’t have water and were in extreme cold situations where everyone had frozen pipes. Spring is hitting and I may even go to a gym again finally soon.
All is good. Except for the start of spring allergy season but that’s when the neti pot comes out.
There’s an awful lot to be agreed upon.
how much of that do you think is actual indoctrination by her schooling, vs the cliched progressive teenager know it all out to change the world and teach The Man a lesson? Do you think Biden’s pick for Education Secretary will be good or bad?
Speaking for myself here, I was the late '90’s version of that progressive. I still am in many ways.
This is a deliberate march of ideas that’s pretty plain to see over the decades. Whether it is deliberately advanced by some set of bad actors or a natural progression of ideas that take shape in the consequence-free bubble of academia, I’m not sure. Probably a bit of both.
The march continues.
Edit: To answer your last question, I don’t think you’ll be able to lay any dramatically improved outcomes at the feet of this guy 4 years from now. I don’t agree with a carte-blanche free education beyond high school, but I’m open to strong incentives that prioritize needed occupations. He will probably do as fine a job as any at this job that probably doesn’t need to exist.
Free community college is an idea I could get behind to advance anything career-oriented.
I can’t get behind funding people’s dreams to study anything based on critical race theory or other areas of study whose only end products are nothing more than ideas. I’m not talking about pure math or science here, where the idea precedes a real application. Let the people with both the interest and means self-select to pursue their social science and cultural studies interest on their own time and own dime. I doubt our society will find ourselves with a shortage of these specialists.
Indoctrination, pure and simple. Without getting into specifics, the most telling example was her repetition of contrived CRT-centric phrases and topic learned by heart that bore no relation to the group of people (extended family) in question. If you want to rebel against your Israeli-born parents of Central European Jewish descent, you don’t go on an unprompted, memorized rant about that whitey Columbus and the white genocide of the indigenous peoples.
You seem to be lumping everybody here into a group we are not all in. I think it is a straw man to do so.
I suppose I’m lumping people in to those who can make their case and those who can not.
I’m looking for specific examples of racist laws, policies, outcomes or whatever can be clearly presented and then connected to the modern Republican party at any level of government.
You mentioned some court cases, but were not very specific about it. Page 14 of the linked GA bill and the concerns of people who believe that black people will be disenfranchised if they can’t vote on Sunday but can on other days have been duly noted.
Cultural Marxism
This would be difficult to do as people aren’t going to agree. The vast majority of any of this could be construed in any way one would want. I feel as if purposefully avoiding Sundays in the original bill was a racist policy done with the specific intent of limiting a popular day/time for black voting. However I can’t counter no it isn’t. I feel as if it was deliberately set that way…but I can’t counter no that’s just a religious day they didn’t want people doing that on.
It’s not like I think the North Carolina voting laws that were struck down in a federal court couldn’t also have been viewed as not racist. Of course they could. That’s not what the court said but again no one can really counter no they weren’t.
It’s simply not something that people can agree on. Hell people don’t even agree that white nationalism is an issue. Which is fine. I don’t really have a counter for no it’s not anymore than one has a counter for yes it is.
Plenty of things people call racist that I don’t see that way and plenty of things people don’t think are racist that I do.
You keep asking for specific examples of racism in law, but I haven’t been arguing that there are. I am arguing that many of the GoP bills are designed to win elections. It happens that these laws take away some of the black vote. They must know about as it is mentioned ask over the place. I am arguing to willfully keep putting forward similar bills is what it unethical. It might not be explicit racism, but it has racist impact to black Americans.
If you don’t believe that these bills are being advanced by the GoP, I don’t think an article is going to convince you.
Such as?
Lowering their voting power. It’s the fact that they are willfully advancing the bills knowing the impact to black Americans.
The thing is with almost all these voting laws you can easily just say nope that’s not what they are trying. It’s a fruitless discussion largely.
But as I said you have to have your head squarely up a parties ass if you don’t think both of them are constantly doing everything they can to make voting laws favor them.
But again I can’t say the Sunday thing isn’t just a coincidence. I certainly don’t think so and they added one of them so clearly someone convinced them to change it. My point is more why do people think some of these changes are happening? It seems nuts to just view it (either side) as all with good intentions.
I think it comes down to believing that making these laws while knowing the impact to black Americans isn’t racist, or denying it is happening (which IMO is untenable). I can’t argue against someone firm in those beliefs. For the former, it perhaps can’t be argued as racism for the firm believer, but it can be argued it is unethical. Then it begs the question of: do you support these bills being advanced?
So it doesn’t get lost, repost.
He’s already “handling” it. It’s not an accident that wave after wave started breaking in around mid January.
Of course it’s not. When you’re the leader Joe is, people are willing to take many risks for the chance to be led by you.
You have to hand it to Biden. Not only did he roll-back many of Trump’s most nefarious policies like the Keystone Pipeline and the notion that we have a southern border, he’s also courageously eschewing the Trump-era practice of holding press conferences and answering tough questions on-the-spot. We’ll probably never know the full number of white supremacists emboldened by Trump’s press conferences.
I also love the new look the Biden administrations going for in Washington D.C. Razor wire and thousands of soldiers have always been the tell-tale signs of beloved leaders who manage to win staggering numbers of votes in completely legitimate elections. It is more important now than ever to immediately ban anyone who questions progressive narratives on social media.
#resistance
It all begs the question: if blacks voted primarily Republican, would this be an issue?
The stage is being set. Kamala within a year.
